Default Mustang Lowdown Touring comments needed

I'm looking for a way to swap seats easily on my '10 Street Glide. I would like a seat for long rides with my wife, and something that looks "cooler" and frame hugging for short rides and riding alone. I have a Sundowner now with an adjustable backrest and a passenger backrest for the wife. It works fine, but I can't remove the seat and put on a different seat because of that big, towering, backrest mounting hardware bolted to the bike. I've been looking at the Mustang Lowdown Touring Seat with a built in backrest. That would be a perfect setup because I could slip the seat off and bolt another right on without fussing with that HD backrest mounting hardware. I'm about 5'8 with a 30" inseam. I'd sure like to hear any comments pro or con about the Mustang Lowdown. I've read through the past posts. Please give me your 2 cents worth about this seat. I'm open to any other suggestions too, if anyone has a solution to my "switching seats problem". Thanks for any input.

So your passenger back rest is not a quick detatch? Bummer...
I'd fix that first, get the four point quick connect system then you can add back rest or luggage racks, tour paks, etc.
Any of the mustang solo seats would work good for ya, if your seroius about short trip with the solo seat you don't even need the removable back rest
unless you already have back problems

Passenger backresr IS a quick detach. Driver backrest is the problem. I should have been more clear on that. Thanks for your reply!

Driver backrest should remove easily, just squeeze the two post going into the seat split and remove the rest...if you go with a solo seat, you'll have to remove the bracket the bk goes into, but that's only two or three nuts...about 5 minute job..
